Wisconsin Inappropriately Withdrew Federal Medicaid Funds for Fiscal Years 2010 Through 2012 

Wisconsin's Federal Medicaid withdrawals during FYs 2010 through 2012 did not fully comply with Federal and State regulations. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (State agency) properly withdrew $13.6 billion of the $13.7 billion obtained in Federal Medicaid funds. However, the State agency inappropriately withdrew the difference of $89.6 million to pay for aggregate annual projected costs. According to the approved State waivers, these costs should have been paid for solely with State funds for the first 3 months of each calendar year during FYs 2010 through 2012.
